    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    check_contractorCheck a contractor's license against official state and local licensing records covering dozens of US jurisdictions. The covered set grows over time; GET /v1/coverage on this host for the exact current list, and never assume from this description whether a jurisdiction is covered. Provide a license number or a business name, plus the jurisdiction. Returns match (the license record with status and provenance), candidates (disambiguate and call again; page with offset), no_match_in_index (NOT a determination of unlicensure), or jurisdiction_not_covered (with an official pointer URL for that jurisdiction; the response message states exactly what the link is, which for some jurisdictions is a consumer-protection or licensing-board page rather than a license lookup, so relay the message's wording and never present the link as a license lookup unless the message says it is one).
